In order to decide the naval ship weapon system acquisition for national policy/market economy activities, the decision makers can determine policy based on current technology level/concentration/utilization. For this, the decision makers apply the major common technology field analysis using patents data. As a method for collecting patent data, we can collect patent data of domestic mobile carriers through the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information System of Korean Intellectual Property Office. As a result, we collected 14,964 patents/352 International Patent Classification(IPC) types. Based on these data, we performed three analysis processes (SNA, PCA, ARIMA, Text Mining) and got each result from extracting 58 IPC types of SNA and 7 IPC types of PCA. Based on the analysis results, we have confirmed that 7 IPC(B63B, H01M, F03D, B01D, H02K, B23K, H01H) types are the Major Common Technology Distribution of domestic Defense Companies.

The purpose of this study was to present the future directions for strengthening the TLO(Technology licensing office)s' expertise of universities by examining the impact on utilizing the university management experts for patents and technology transfer. To identify the specific effects of dispatching patent management experts, this study was conducted under various conditions, such as the dispatch status, the dispatching duration of patent management experts and the starting year of dispatching them. The data were analyzed by utilizing the data of the KIPSI's supporting program of dispatching the patent management expert to universities and the data of University Information Disclosure site. The data from a total of 110 four-year universities from 2008 to 2013 were used. According to the analysis result, the technology transfer's performance and technology transfer's income of universities of utilizing the patent management experts compared to universities not utilizing them appeared to be high. Technology transfer and technology transfer income appeared to be higher with a longer period of utilizing the patent management expert at university. This suggests that the direction is required to provide the plan for a longer period to maximize the effect of the program "The dispatching a patent management expert". The technology transfer's performance and technology transfer's income did not increase according to the year of dispatched the patent management expert at the university. A comparison of before and after dispatching, the technology transfer performance appeared to be high after dispatch. This suggests that the effects of dispatching the patent management experts at a university can be interpreted as a subsequent effect, rather than an immediate effect. Therefore, it does not simply limit the effectiveness of the dispatch business in the short term, but it needs to activate the technology transfer organization, such as a patent management expert in the long term.

Dual-use technology, upon its effective development, can be a highly efficient technology that may be utilized for both achieving industry competitiveness and building National Security. Although research needs for such development methodology and call for corresponding efforts have long been proposed, actual outputs have not reached its desired level. Hence, this paper aims to provide more concrete and quantitative process in technology planning used to activate development of dual-use technology, considering dual usability and transferability of such technologies. In such effort, we propose use of patent analysis and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for determining priorities for spin-off defense technology. First, the necessity of R&D and potential spin-off are measured based on patent information. Second, the necessity of R&D results from a quantitative analysis and the potentials spin-off are derived from analysis of patent citations. Then, AHP is used to calculate the importance of evaluating factors, and to assess alternative scores. Finally, we present the result of spin-off priority. A case study on the Korea defense technology is presented to illustrate the proposed method. We expect this study to make contribution in vision making of the military R&D spending.
